Gordo's Little Black Dress

Published on January 27th 2006.

The hottest ticket in town this year will be the Little Black Dress event at Urbis this March. Little Black Dress is an event started in Los Angeles five years ago to benefit charities close to the event organiser's heart, the very elegant Emily Cortez. This year, Manchester is the host.

Thirty plus of the world’s finest fashion houses are designing their idea of the perfect Little Black Dress. These will all be shown at Urbis, and auctioned for the benefit of Gordo’s favourite charity, Nordoff-Robins.

This is an A-List party with stars flying in from LA and some of the greatest music stars in the world on their way for it. It is rumoured that Gordo’s pal Richard O’Brien is considering accepting the job as MC, as long as Gordo gets one of the couturiers to design and make a little black dress for him.

Gordo himself is in charge of inviting fifty of the good and great, so expect to see him being driven mental as time goes by.

Tickets simply cannot be bought, they are by invitation only and there are only 300 of them. Blimey.
